There are around 700 million unused phones in EU homes.
That’s nearly two devices for every single person.
By disposing of them properly, we can:
Reuse lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements Reduce our reliance on imports Increase our resilience against global market disruptions
The EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan wants to make repairable design the norm, as a vital step toward reducing e-waste.

@EUCommission awesome! Now do home appliances. Refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers and televisions need the same treatment.

@EUCommission or, deal with the SW problem so those phones can be used for other things. force vendors to release technical documentation for outdated phones so we can build SW for it ourselves. and I don't mean only soc, but also actuators, cameras etc
@amackif @EUCommission that'd be perfect, but I don't see that happen

I also have 2 landline phones (not in the picture)

Maybe we wouldn't need to keep them as hot spares if there was legislation that crucial everyday tasks could be done without a smartphone registered at either Apple or Google. -

Reason i had to buy another couch was that the components *read springs* could not be bought seperately at the store i bought the original new couch. Yes, handing in old equipment is a good idea but also the right to repair or to not have to buy a completely new/different thing because of not being able to repair. *also* focus on that.

@EUCommission There's nothing "circular" about it, if we keep on buying more and more of everything year after year. The first rule to be circular is to stop growing. Circles have a constant radius.
@casdeiro @EUCommission i have never interacted to a degrowther. every time i see it, i raise my (ignorant) eyebrows. since i see progressive partially linked with growth. what for you personally is so attractive about he whole degrowth movement?

In order to dispose of my ewaste I need to make an appointment (!) at the local recycling center, find someone to drive me there as they hate pedestrians, queue like some kind of indolent buffoon in spite of having an appointment.
